Country Sampler

Bundled Up in Bitterswee­t

-

Bitterswee­t is an iconic accent that appears in all sorts of country displays, so gather up a few faux vines this season to dress up a large white pumpkin. Pull the wired vine apart to create lengths that can be formed into small circular wreaths. Make all the wreaths the same size and then pinch to form into matching diamond shapes. Use floral wire to join the diamonds together at the points, creating a netting of bitterswee­t. Wrap the netting around your pumpkin and secure the ends. Arrange the berries and wire stems to look loose and natural, especially at the top and bottom of the pumpkin.
